Vanilla Tea

A treat for vanilla lovers! The dulcitude of vanilla offsets the natural astringency of the black tea, giving this balanced tea a dessert-like quality. This tea from the Guangdong province is aromatized in the traditional Chinese way. During processing, the tea leaves are sprinkled with vanilla extract, letting the scent and flavor of the vanilla infuse the tea in the step called Aromatization.  Vanilla tea is sold for $6.50 / oz.
